Perhaps this is why Al Gore labeled his movie "An Inconvenient Truth." Just because we don't like it doesn't make it untrue. I consider you all my friends but the lake I have loved since I was stationed at Dugway Proving Ground in 1974 is under 25% of capacity and there is a reason for it.

The wife just received a message from her brother and sister-in-law, showing that the TVA is doing rolling blackouts due to a lack of power in Nashville They were told to expect power outages to last 10 minutes out of each hour between now and January 2. I was wondering if this is happening throughout the state.
(Would love to hear from Ghaynes or any other stagers to see if this is happening state wide)
I know the TVA draws down the lakes they control in the state this time of year and I am wondering if they need to rethink that process and would also like to know if the power production from those turbines is even used within the state of Tennessee. I know that the power produced through Bull Shoals dam in Arkansas does not go into the grid to supply that state as it goes to Oklahoma and Texas. Just would like more info to try and understand why we are being sent back to the dark ages.
Any comments are appreciated.

They are doing this in larger cities here in NC, we have indoor propane heaters and barbecue grills and lots of wood we haven't lost power here yet, but have been through it before hopefully we'll survive, but we're so cold here our well froze up so that's the main concern with us is our water right now.

Passingbye,
I grew up in the country on a well. If we lost power we didn't have water but I don't remember not having water because it was frozen. It must be a helpless feeling. I hope when the cold front passes you have no damage to your system.
Jim

Beautiful system you have there!!! The TVA has made a lot of enemies throughout Tennessee for their arrogance to listen or up grade their systems. Again it’s not the working man’s fault for low lake water levels or screwed up energy grids!!! My wife works in the Utility and Coal Industry. She sees it first handed how they have destroyed these fine people’s lives and jobs!!! Again we need “ALL” the above!! Not, turn it off and go Green without a plan!!! That my friends is true Stupidity!!! Work together-not divide and conquer !!!

Picket lines, letter writing campaigns, lobbying, etc. PSE&G spent hundreds of millions of dollars to upgrade the power plant, then shut it down. Check out //sierraclub.org. They are trying to close every coal fired power plant in the world. They lost their tax exempt status because of their lobbying.


Yeah, that's all go out an buy an electric car.

Yes, if we can't power our homes, how the heck can we power all the cars?

This doesn't look good for a lot of folk in that area. There has been no response from the wife's brother since they said there was an issue there. Fortunately here in central Illinois the winds are settling down and the real temp is up to 5°. That is already 5° warmer than we got yesterday. Still -21° windchill.

Go ahead and buy that Tesla. Put solar on your roof and maybe a wind turbine in your yard. Tell me how that works out for you! Oh yeah don’t you dare burn wood in your fireplace.

I live in Northeast Tennessee and so far we have not had rolling blackouts or any loss of power not due to lines being down. However yesterday I did hear the Memphis area was having rolling blackouts. Had not heard anything about Nashville until now.

They’re doing that here in East Tn as well cutting power off it’s a real pain I guess they’re getting us prepared for California life when we all have plug up cars and there new solar panel systems won’t keep up wait until summer and they tell us not to run the ac or plug up cars in the heat of the day this new woke agenda is a joke and not sure if we can even do anything about it at this point
